Yeah. I don't think colleges should host speakers who are trolls doing a bit!

No more Larry The Cable Guy? :smith:

Sam Hyde is an alt-right racist who had a show on [as] called Million Dollar Extreme. It was really racist and also really unfunny. The word is that Tim and Eric basically used their clout at [as] to get the show cancelled and Hyde blacklisted for being a Nazi poo poo.

Ah. OK. Thanks.

Backing down now is out of the question, it has to be followed through.

Do you think they should go so far as to kill both Milo & David Spencer? Or is that too far?

Of course that's too far, as is any action against them that doesn't involve them doing something first - it has to be reactive, you need a casus belli.

You can debate whether shutting down the Berkeley talk itself was too far, I'm not personally convinced it was, but I won't dismiss objections entirely. It had a tradeoff associated with it.

But now that that's happened, that's it, the line is drawn. If Spencer and Co show up to Berkeley, and antifa is a no show, that's 100% going to be interpreted as 'weakness' on the side of antifa, and therefore 'strength' on the side of the fash. That's the case even if you think the original protest was an overreaction. Pragmatically, and strategically, antifa cannot back down.

What's the casus belli to destroy a Starbucks next to the campus? I ask because I'm confused on what that company, and other local businesses along with individuals whose property was destroyed by the people protesting did to deserve that. Like I get going after Milo/Spencer/whoever, but how does that justify it spilling over onto random other people who dared to be in the area around UCB?

that poor Starbucks!
it has a family!
quick, let's call an ambulance

More so, "those poor middle to lower class employees at that business whose lives just got hosed with for daring to have a job near UC Berkley."

I can see how falling back onto the "gently caress you, got mine" attitude is the way to go for some folks though. #FuckTheWorkingClass amirite?

Why did Twitter not take a stand and delete his account rather than give him a blue checkmark?
